With only one event remaining on the 2016 Kistler Racing Products FAST 410 Series presented by K S Sales & Service schedule, as well as the JLH General Contractors FAST 305 Series presented by Engine Pro schedule, full-time FAST teams will have one last opportunity to battle for a chunk of their respective championships. The season finale will take shape on Friday evening, September 16, at the Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio; opening night of the annual Jim Ford Classic weekend which will award $5,000-to-win/$500-to-start during the FAST 410 Series portion. The 2016 FAST 410 Series champion will be awarded $10,000, with the FAST 305 Series champion earning a minimum of $2,000.

Paul Weaver, a three-time FAST 305 Series main event winner in 2016, will lead the JLH General Contractors FAST 305 Series presented by Engine Pro charge into Fremont Speedway on September 16. The Ohio veteran holds a 45 point lead over former FAST Series champion Nate Dussel, followed by Dan McCarron, Alvin Roepke, and Steve Rando.

“Well, it all comes down to this,” Rich Farmer explained regarding the FAST finale. “It’s hard to believe that the season is coming to a close. For the most part, things have went really smooth for our teams. We’ve had some conflict with weather, but we worked through it and never let it distract our plan. I can’t thank all of the drivers and teams enough for their hard work and support. We were able to build and mold relationships with other facilities in 2016, allowing for a schedule increase, as well as an expansion. The finale will definitely bring about a bitter/sweet feeling.”
